大家的GPA都是多少？

大家的GPA都是多少？

偶太低了！

经常有人问我本科GPA比较低，只有3左右，是不是很难获得名校录取。我的回答是：别拿GPA说事！原因如下。

一、        商学院录取的是未来从事管理的精英，而非考试能手。当然，商学院要求你具有一定的学术能力，来完成学习课程，因此GMAT是必须的。从我自身的体会来看，GMAT的确能够很好得衡量学生在应付MBA课程时的能力。学习商学院课程的主要要素时阅读理解以及基础的算术。而这些能力正是GMAT考试的内容。而本科GPA则更多是一些专业课程方面的成绩，其实与MBA相去甚远。

二、        本科GPA具有相当大的不可比性。单中国申请者就可能毕业于上百个不同的学校，从北大清华到地方性的专科学校，而任何一个美国商学院都有几十个国家的学生申请。对于录取委员会来说，分辨不同学校的教学质量是一件非常有挑战性的任务。

三、        很多申请者已经毕业多年，本科学业已经是很久以前的事情，并不能反映申请者目前的状况，因此可参考行更低。

所以，在申请MBA时，你可以暂时忘却GPA。事实上，录取委员会很少关注GPA，除非你的GPA低于2.5或者接近4.0。可以这么说，GPA是在整个申请材料中最不重要的一个元素。

逵逵目前只有3.3，不过是浪子回头型选手，从2.7,2.7, 3.0(这个时候老爸说可以资助出国，同时知道GPA是个指标）, 3.3, 3.9, 4.0

顶尖商学院录取的中国学生GPA听说在3.5以上，不知真假

false.

My GPA is around 3.0, and a friend of mine from PKU got admitted into HBS with 2.8 GPA.

GPA is the least important element of your application compared with essays, reference, interview, gmat, toefl, and resume.

I don't agree with you ...

GPA is very important.   When you apply for graduate shcool, they also want to see if you take this seriously.   Your friend is from PKU.   That is why.   

I know GMAT, Essay, Resume , those are very important too. But don't ignore that factor.

When you say "important", you mean the factor is comparion-purpose important. But how can you do so? With more than 400 universities in China and much more in the world, how can the admissions differentiate the quality of each program? We can say a 740 GMAT is better than 700, but 3.7 GPA is not necessarily better than a 3.0, because there are so many variables that are hard to define but influence the weight of the GPA.

A lot of applicants here are troubled with the calculation of their GPAs. 3.4 or 3.6? That really makes no sense. A 3.8 GPA in China make LITTLE sense unless you are from PKU THU  Fudan or USTC. By the way, the GPA and GMAT are in someway complentary to each other to form a general picture about your academic ability. If you have been away from campus for a long time, the weight of GPA is even less.
